Early life

Röhm was born in Düsseldorf, West Germany, to Lisa Loverde and Eberhard Röhm. Her father was a German-born partner at the law firm of Duane Morris LLP New York, moving with her family to New York City before her first birthday. Her mother was an American scriptwriter, who once wrote for the TV soap opera Guiding Light. Röhm’s parents divorced when she was 8 or 9. Her maternal grandfather was an Italian immigrant.[1]

Röhm attended grades 11-12 at St. Andrew's-Sewanee School, a small private boarding school in Sewanee, Tennessee, and then graduated from Sarah Lawrence College,[2] where she studied writing and European History.

Röhm was engaged to director Austin Smithard in 2000. On April 11, 2008, Röhm gave birth to a daughter, Easton August Anthony Wooster, with current partner Ron Anthony Wooster.[6][7]
